Editing Radiosurgery

Radiosurgery is a non-invasive, high-precision radiation treatment that uses focused beams of radiation to treat tumours and other abnormalities within the body, particularly in the brain and spine. Despite its name, radiosurgery is not an actual surgery but a targeted form of radiotherapy that delivers high doses of radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This technique is often completed in one session, making it a convenient option for patients. Radiosurgery is performed using advanced technology such as Gamma Knife or CyberKnife systems, guided by detailed imaging. Managed by a team of specialists, this treatment offers an effective and minimally invasive alternative for patients with hard-to-reach or inoperable tumours, aiming to provide rapid relief and high rates of tumour control.
